Figuring out Trump

[ColdNoMore]

I've been trying to understand why a person who is supposedly successful and super-rich, would:

1. Go on tweet rampages in the middle of the night, raging against those who have upset him.

2. Refuse to be the only political candidate in modern history to refuse to show his tax returns and prove that he doesn’t have any potential conflicts of interest.

3. Continually try to shame women on their looks and/or bodies, while he himself is a portly blob.

4. Basically tell our intelligence agencies that they don’t know what they’re talking about in regards to cyber threats and that a country that we have been in conflict with for over 50 years, is led by a guy who Trump has a bromance with.

5. Embellish and lie on almost everything about himself, in an attempt to make him look smarter and more successful than he really is.

6. Constantly resort to bullying anyone who doesn’t buy or believe, in his thin façade.

7. Builds grandiose monuments to himself, in the hope that glitter will supercede substance.

8. Make intelligent people cringe when he speaks at a 6th grade level and repeats the last two hyperbolic adjectives in most of his speeches…over and over.

After contemplating these personality defects, it has come to me that I think Trump knows deep down…he is basically white-trash.

He realized long ago, that all the money in the world...can't buy you class or grace.

His entire life has been spent trying to build wealth and fame, by lying or buying the influence he needs for the sole purpose of trying to hide the fact that he’s just smart enough to know…that he’s actually an intellectual lightweight and will always be so.

That he convinced enough people otherwise to get elected POTUS, does show that he has street-level cunning however and knows how to pander to those same undercurrents of racism, xenophobia, misogyny and bigotry…that all too many Americans have shown to have just beneath the surface.

I have strong doubts that he will actually fill his entire four year term, as I believe he will either be impeached and removed from office or resign once it’s found that he’s been using the highest office on this planet...to further enrich himself and his family.

Just exactly like other third world dictators/despots have done…but on a much more massive scale.

In so many ways, he’s simply another Richard Nixon…without Nixon’s intelligence.

Emotional IQ vs Intellectual IQ

[ColdNoMore]

Emotional IQ vs Intellectual IQ

Of which he has neither...which is even more confusing.

I will give him that he does have a street drug dealers 'canniness' ...which certainly plays into it.

[MDLNB]

And yet, against what most felt were insurmountable odds, HE WON!! So, you can all cry me a river.

I didn't like Obama's ideology from the time he started campaigning to the present, and I still don't. But he won. I lived with it, so if you know what is healthy you will too.

[Chi-Town]

Trump knew his market. They were at his rallies. But he is at sea right now and we're floating right along with him. He is like that crazy uncle you can never take you eyes off of or you'll be sorry.

[RickeyD]

One things for sure. The next 4 years are gonna give the late night shows the best comedic fodder since we found out about J Edgar Hoovers clothes closet.

[jimbo2012]

At this point what difference does it make

HE WON BIGLY

[billethkid]

We were away on a 10 day cruise.
Left election day.
Great planning; heard the results. And did not have to listen to any weeping and crying and moaning and groaning.....until just now.

He won. Suck it up.

Your problem will be significantly more tolerable than wehn we had to digest the election of an unknown, black man, with ZERO experience at anything but smoke and mirrors and BS!

BTK, you were doing pretty well until you got into the adjectives.

No disparaging of anykind or type intended.
Merely stating facts as viewed by many of us.

I imagine there will be a lot of laughs at a skit or two with millions of liberals crying and hugging puppies. SNL will make it a hit and there will be a lot of laughs. Although, I don't watch SNL so I might miss it.

Well now isn't that interesting You think that is the reason. Wonder what you would have said if Secretary Clinton would have won.

Cold No More, you still protecting us all from Bullies?

I still have your P.M.s.

The Clintons are worse than drug dealers and they have the bank accounts to prove it. $300 million "earned" from "Public Service"

Get Special Prosecuter and LOCK THEM UP

Except for a very few comedians SNL has never produced an original, entertaining or quality show. Its primarily a love fest for liberals who desire to disparage anyone in society who does not fall in line with their indoctrination. Its essentially non-elitists feigning being intellectual elitist. And there is a lot of that liberal indoctrination going around with the alphabet stations, HBO etc

I watched a wretched movie last night titled The Anniversary Party (2001) that clearly speaks to the thinking of the Hollywood/celebrity set (self-indulgent very unbalanced). I place much of SNL in that same category.

Over my head naw. I am just too clear headed to engage in such propaganda because when I want propaganda I read the newspaper when I watch TV, etc I just want to be entertained

That at least we are in the hands of someone who has the intelligence and temperament to be POTUS.


Cold No More, you still protecting us all from Bullies?

Yep. :D

Then again, the last time you tried to bully (the person with the poll) there were a number of other people that slapped your bulbous nose...and called you out for your typical bullying.

So, I'm certainly not alone. ;)


I still have your P.M.s.
You mean the ones I responded to from you, telling you what a passive-aggressive, snake in the grass, nasty, nosy twit you are?

Excellent, you should reread them often. :thumbup:

So do a lot of liberals' idiotic remarks. It must be hard on you to accept that fact that those that you insist on disparaging are responsible for your candidate's failure to succeed. Perhaps all that money spent on liberal education was not quite up to snuff.

Here's an interesting thought. If the 47% (non-tax paying) voters supported Hillary for more freebies, then that must mean that many well educated and successful folks voted for Trump. Take a lot about you. It appears that all those supposedly well educated voters are no longer behind you, but instead are on the Trump side. Trump did not win by a majority of rednecks you know. There are not that many rednecks in America. Just something for you to think about when you disparage your neighbors.

Sounds like a description of Obama!

When Trump calls and wants counsel or a visit to the west wing, the president should tell him to go pound sand.

Is that what Bush did? Seems to me that I have never heard a disparaging word about Obama come from former president Bush. Then again, some have class and some do not.

You have the audacity to talk about "class," after voting for the person who doesn't even know what the word means...much less have any?

Or did you actually think... glitter = class?

Simply amazing. :ohdear:

Have you heard any word come from former president W Bush in the last eight years? It's almost like he's afraid to show his face.

Afraid to show his face? Better use your Google. Just because he hasn't been giving frivolous speeches and appearing on late night comedy shows, does not mean he hasn't been about. How about all the work he has been doing in Africa or with the wounded warriors? Try removing your head from your posterior before speaking, your mouth is full of...........

Can't wait to see what Obie gets involved in after he vacates the White House. Wonna place odds on his stirring the racist pot?

Then face facts that we live in REALITY not OBAMALAND.
1. Trump seems to be a workaholic. I could not keep up his pace and I doubt many of us could.
2. Trump did not release his tax records. DID YOU PUBLISH YOURS? I think the answer has already come out.
He has been carrying over a major loss for years an so has paid little or no INCOME TAX in years. Is is fair? We both do not think so but that is the law. You in your ANTI-TRUMP ANTI-REPUBLICAN VIEW find the tax issue important. YET, YOU WERE READILY WILLING TO DISMISS THE CLINTONS DANCING ALL OVER LEGALITY. Interesting FACT-the income tax is the most hated tax that Americans pay and yet it is only less than 20% of the TAX our government EXTRACTS from us. If, you refuse to see that, look on your cell phone bill-it is 1/3 tax, they no longer show on a gas pump what percentage of the price you pay to fill your car is BUT ROUGHLY 1/3 WHAT YOU PAY IS TAX. A friend used to say,"They have so many ways to pluck the chicken he does not know he is bald." There is more than one way to spell that.
3. Re: shame women on looks AND THEN YOU SAY TRUMP IS A PORTLY BLOB.
ARE YOU SO SIMPLE THAT YOU DO NOT SEE YOU ARE DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING. Actually, that was a strike at ROSIE ODANALD-the two of them have been jousting for years. ROSIE was the one to make it PUBLIC.
4. Are you aware the BILLY CLINTON at the democratic convention. looking for anything Hillary has been successful at, stated among her accomplishments that she served on the assembly for cyber security-TALK ABOUT NEEDING TO REACH. Sorry-my point is then you are willing to give her a pass and accept HER BREACH OF SECURITY-USING AN UNSECURED PRIVATE E-MAIL SERVER FOR GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. if, you have trouble admitting why this is and should be a major crime, HILLARY'S emails turned up on a computer shared with disgraced WEINER and his wife or former wife HUMA ABERDIN. Huma Aberdin DOES NOT HAVE SECURITY CLEARANCE and has family in Saudi Arabia the biggest funder of TERRORISM in the world.
5. We all have a better opinion of ourselves then reality. Do you believe the CLINTONS are good honorable people?
I expect you vicariously wanted to put a woman in the white-house. The FACT is that Trump employs more women then men. Trump was among the first to hire a female architect to build a major project OH AND TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER WAS A WOMEN.
6. Re: bullying and thin facade.
Do you not realize that the CLINTON MACHINE carefully studied TRUMP. They knew that if they attacked his family or his business he would react.
7. I have no idea what you think you have said.
8. YOU typical of THE LIBERAL VIEW, ASSume everyone who does not agree with you is STUPID. Condi Rice usually begins her classes by saying,"If, all your friends agree with you-you need some new friends?
As to saying the same thing over and over again-THERE IS NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE. You have heard this many times YET you do not see it. You refuse to hear how many times the Clintons CLAIM they don't recall. Or how many times Obama and Hillary have screamed TAX THE RICH.
9. AS A PROUD DEPLORABLE-SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP-TRUMP IS PRESIDENT OH AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HAVE LOST BOTH CONGRESS AND THE SENATE.

[MDLNB]

Trump won.
The House is a Republican majority
The Senate is a Republican majority

What is it that you liberals said when it was the opposite in 2009? Oh yeah, elections have consequences.

The people spoke. There were more Democrats registered than Republicans, but with the Independents and the smart Democrats that crossed over and voted conservative, Hillary lost, and congress lost to Republicans.

We hated it when Obama the socialist got elected and congress was Democrat but we sat back and planned for the next congressional election. The left said the Republican party was finished and then took the largest loss to congress in history. They said Trump would not have a chance and now they are in shock and denial. Hillary is damaged goods and the left's evil conniving and conspiracy to screw Bernie backfired. Now, you have to live with it for at least two years for congress and four years for president.

You know what they say up my way? Life's a bit*h and so is Hillary......:a20:
